Healthland, America's market leader of healthcare information technology
solutions for rural hospitals, kicks off 2013 with increased efforts to
bring awareness and support to rural healthcare. The National Rural
Health Association (NRHA) recently announced that Healthland is the
first health information technology (HIT) provider to become a
Platinum-Level corporate sponsor with the organization – just one of the
strategies Healthland is using to enhance this year’s efforts.
Healthland President and CEO Angie Franks will also join the NRHA to
speak at the Rural Health Policy Institute on February 4, 2013, in
Washington D.C.

“Rural hospitals are the hearts of their communities, both economically
and socially,” said Alan Morgan, CEO of the National Rural Health
Association. “They face unique challenges, but their role is critical to
maintaining strong communities in rural America. We look forward to
working closely with Healthland to advocate at all levels on behalf of
rural hospitals and healthcare providers.”

Hosted by the NRHA, the Rural Health Policy Institute is one of the
largest rural advocacy events in the country. The event offers
professionals the opportunity to learn about the development and
implementation of healthcare policy at the federal level, as well as
gain knowledge and tips on how to best communicate with elected
representatives to advance legislative goals in Congress.

“With healthcare reform underway across the country, rural hospitals can
serve as an effective model in the delivery of healthcare,” said
Healthland President and CEO Angie Franks. “Primary care is the center
of rural healthcare and these providers embody an integrated delivery of
care model by managing patients from the emergency room and clinic, to
inpatient hospital care, long term care and home health. Healthland has
seen first-hand the importance of keeping healthcare local, and I am
very proud to support and partner with nearly 500 critical access and
small rural hospitals across the United States.”

At the Rural Health Policy institute, Franks will join Healthland Chief
Medical Officer and client, Dr. Eric Westberg of Glacial Ridge Health
System, to present the session, Regulatory Landmines for Rural
Providers, on February 4, 2013. The session will focus on the
changes currently impacting the rural healthcare market including:
ICD-10, Stage 2 Meaningful Use, the momentum surrounding the ACO
movement and the importance of technology in all of these areas. They
will also join government agencies and experts from around the country,
advocating for the protection of rural healthcare.

Healthland is America’s largest provider of fully integrated solutions
to rural community and critical access hospitals, nearly 500 clients
across the country. Software and services from Healthland, including its
electronic health record (EHR) solution, empower community hospitals to
deliver the best possible healthcare by providing a central repository
of patient information in all care settings, be it a hospital, clinic or
extended care facility.

Healthland solutions are uniquely suited to the size and needs of rural
hospitals, enabling them to focus on what they do best – care for
family, friends and neighbors. The organization currently has offices in
its founding city of Glenwood, Minn., population 2,600, as well as its
